...latively smooth line to my data which will preferentially weight the larger values. This method needs to be able to fit through data gaps however, which is why I was originally looking to fit sinusoids. A jpg of a single year of the data is available here: [2]<http://www.geog.uvic.ca/spar/carson/snowDepth.jpg> to give you an idea of the shape of my curve. Thank you again for your help, Carson I would have to know more about what you are *really* trying to do, and what the data are like, before I could make any useful suggestions. Many modelling issues could come into play, and...

Dear List, I am attempting to perform a harmonic analysis on a time series of snow depth, in which the annual curve is essentially asymmetric (i.e. snow accumulates slowly over time, and the subsequent melt occurs relatively rapidly). I am trying to fit a curve to the data, however, the actual frequency is unknown. I have been trying to follow the methods in Peter Bloomfields text
